Go TO PNW Moths GO TO THE SOURCECODE
Since December 2011, I’ve been working with Merrill Peterson, a professor of Biology at Western Washington University, on the most comprehensive guide to any regions’ moths in the world. I took on the project from another student, John Huddleston, who’s now working in the Bioinformatics space. The project has been a mix of both backend and frontend work.
